nYou have gained 28 unassigned stat points.

n“That’s gonna take some time to get used to.” At the very instant a string of notifications had appeared in front of his field of vision, notifying how much of an increase seven levels brought to all of his stats, a great surge of energy quickly circulated throughout Valyr’s body, imbuing him with the brief feeling of having limitless amounts of power.

nUnfortunately for him, this feeling did not last long, with his senses returning to normal only a few seconds later. After that, he went ahead and tried doing a few simple tasks to test out how much of a difference his newly improved stats brought, proceeding to do a simple punch, only to imbue the entirety of his STR stat behind it.

nBang!𝑂𝓋𝒍xt.𝑐𝐎𝓜

nUnsurprisingly, with his STR now solidly at the triple digit mark, the amount of force behind that simple punch of his was far greater than what any normal Rank 2 class holder could unleash, a faint sonic boom being generated not long after because of it. For a few seconds, the room faintly quaked, causing a slight grin to appear on Valyr’s face as he decided to do the other simple tasks he thought up outside his own dormitory room.

nAside from the fact that the room was slightly small for him to test out the improvement in his other stats, he did not want to destroy his room for no reason.

nWith that, he leisurely made his way towards the training field of the barracks, waving at the few people he had passed by that still remembered him from before he left along the way. Once there, he commanded the system to bring up his status screen, which made him whistle as he focused his gaze on his current stats.

n“Guess I’ll have to test DEX during the monster tide,” Valyr muttered to himself as he looked at his DEX stat, which was now far above the 300 point mark. Though he eagerly wanted to find out how much damage he could now dish out with the moves from Shadow Serpent Combat Style with his increased DEX stat, he knew very well that he might destroy the entire training field if he went all out, prompting him to suppress his urge in slight disappointment as he shifted his gaze onto his other stats.

n“I guess AGI, INT, and PER are really the only stats I could test in great detail.” After allowing his emotions to return to normal from the excitement he felt from the thought of testing his DEX stat, Valyr eventually went through the other stats on his status screen, deciding to start it off by utilizing his AGI stat to its limits.

nWhoosh!

nWith him being the only person occupying the training field at the moment, Valyr did not hesitate in going all out, going through all of the basic movements he used in combat and in general as he darted to and fro through the training field. Due to the speed he was going, a bit of dust had been kicked up by his movements, causing the entire field to be covered in a faint cloud of dust as a grin gradually crept up onto his lips.

n“I think I could cover a couple kilometers in a few minutes with my AGI stat being this high.” Once he was finished gauging the improvement to his AGI stat, he then moved onto testing his INT stat, proceeding to head to a nearby training dummy before standing in front of it.

n“Hmm… what skill should I use?” Extending out one of his palms towards the training dummy, Valyr mentally browsed through the list of magic-based skills in his arsenal, wondering which skill among all of them would allow him to get a good idea on how much of an improvement his INT stat had undergone, as well as how much improvement ascending to Rank 2 brought.

n“Well, if I really think about it, I’ve pretty much used only one magic skill so far.” Making his decision, a small ball of crimson flame manifested a few centimeters away from his palm, only to balloon in size with every passing second. By the time it had grown to the size of a basketball, Valyr was forced to distance himself from the training dummy even further, seeing that the ball was still continuing to grow.

nIt was only when the ball of crimson flame was a meter in diameter did it stop, causing Valyr to stare at it for a bit in slight shock, surprised that his INT stat could influence the size of a skill to this extent. Nevertheless, the size of the skill was one thing, the damage the skill dealt was another.

n“Crimson Blaze.”

nWhoosh!

nWith that, he threw the sphere of crimson flames towards the training dummy he had chosen, his expression continuing to stay the same as he watched the sphere engulf the training dummy into non-existence… and the next one… and the next one… and the next one…

nAround 10 training dummies had been engulfed by the sphere of crimson flames, with the only remnant of their existence being the trail of charred ground the sphere had left behind. Then, after it had engulfed the 10th training dummy, it exploded into a cloud of crimson flames, making Valyr involuntarily take in a deep breath as he thought about how even he would not want to get caught up in something like that.

n“I think I can make Crimson Blaze return to its original size while still dealing the same amount of damage.” After he was done seeing the effects of his improved INT stat, Valyr took down notes, mostly regarding gaining a great level of mastery when it came to magic-based skills and how he had to spend more time on them.

n“And that only leaves me with the last one.” With the training field having served its purpose for testing two of the three stats he planned to test, Valyr went ahead and left the training field, making his way to the barracks’ entrance as he activated Gambler’s Discerning Eyes not long after.

nWhoosh!

nWithin seconds, the hyperfocus ability that came along with the skill activated, allowing his heightened PER stat to become more substantial as his sight extended far beyond the village gates. Nevertheless, with how flashy testing his AGI and INT stat was compared to testing his PER stat, Valyr decided to make a comment after some time to break the silence that currently surrounded him.

n“Yep…”

n“I can see very far, alright.”

n“I can see… very far, indeed.”

n“Very good. Definitely good… I think.”
